Large Share of Texans Cannot Afford Mental Health Care

A state-by-state report has found that Texans with mental health needs struggle to find and afford treatment, reports KERA News. According to the report from insurance company Milliman, 88 percent of Texans live in a county without enough mental health providers, and the average cost of an out-of-pocket therapy session in the state was at least $160, or $68 even with insurance if the provider is out-of-network.
